This video discusses the FinFET characteristics of physical IP design and how they differ from planar devices. It will describe the impact FinFETs have on existing circuit designs and layout topologies for widely used IP such as DDR, USB, PCI Express, embedded memories and logic libraries.Navraj Nandra, Sr. Director of Marketing for the DesignWare Analog/Mixed Signal IP, Embedded Memories and Logic Libraries, Synopsys

FinFETs are emerging as the device technology of choice at advanced nodes. This introduces new design challenges for IP development, which require knowledge of and experience in designing with FinFETs to ensure design success. This video describes the benefits and challenges of transitioning from planar to FinFET technologies and how IP plays a significant role in this transition.Jamil Kawa, R&D Director, Synopsys

During SNUG 2013 in Silicon Valley, a panel of experts from foundry and semiconductor companies joined Synopsys in a discussion about their early experiences with FinFET Technology. Watch this video to learn about the different perspectives, the challenges this new technology introduces and the solutions they explored. Dr. Antun Domic, Synopsys; Joachim Kunkel, Synopsys; Subramani Kengeri, GLOBALFOUNDRIES; Michael Campbell, QUALCOMM; Anil Jain, Cavium;

The semiconductor industry continues its relentless march towards smaller geometries. Currently, there's a big buzz around 20nm and even smaller process nodes. Watch this video to hear Antun Domic's perspective on the industry's move to advanced nodes and what it means for Synopsys. Hint: Having an industry-leading in-design solution to tackle the needs of 20nm is one way to help alleviate the challenges.Antun Domic, senior vice president and general manager, Implementation Group, Synopsys

MOSFETs are undergoing the most drastic transformation in nearly 50 years. What's driving this change and how will the move to 3D FinFET impact IC technology? What are these new transistors? What demands will they place on EDA tools and the design community? Professor Hu will provide insight into the driving factors behind these new transistors and how these transistors will enable the continued use of existing infrastructures of circuit and system designs, as well as device fabrication, for decades to come.Dr. Chenming Hu, Professor Emeritus & Former CTO TSMC, UC Berkeley
